Beach Day 2










Newport Beach, Oregon

First night of vacation, Newport Beach.
It was very windy and very cold.
We ate a great little restaurant in the historical part of town.  Aiden ate his first fish and chips and he was addicted.  That is all he would eat for the remainder of the vacation.
 







John Mayer and Philip Philips

Philip Philips opened for John Mayer at The Gorge on July 20, 2013.
Aiden Jacob is an avid Philip Philips fan and loves the guitar.
 So, what a great way to start his birthday week and our summer vacation.
It was 100 degrees outside when the concert started.

BOYS!!!

 A couple of weekends ago we took down the bunkbed and put twin beds in the boys' room.  The goal was to get Aiden to start sleeping in his own bed.  Aiden has been sleeping in my bed and Tim has been sleeping on the bottom bunk since Tim's leukemia diagnosis.
Now that the boys are getting older and Tim's health is stable we thought it was time to go back to a "normal" life.
The transition was so easy, Aiden did so good he only woke up once the first night and climbed into our bed but we told him to go back to his bed and he did. 
Now that they are sleeping in the same room, the boys are getting along better.
So the story of the eye....
The boys were playing tag in their room on Saturday night when Riley decided to dodge Aiden.  In the process, he hit his eye on the night stand.  As you can see the edges are perfectly rounded.  He ruptured a blood vessel in his eye.
The opthamologist reassured us that the injury looks worse than it is.  He has a scleral hemorrhage that will be gone in two weeks.
We kept him home from school until the swelling was gone.
The reaction from his friends was priceless.
Oh the joy of boys and their injuries.
Got to love them, never a dull moment for sure.
